Red Nose fun in Filey!By Callum from Filey School Filey School's Red Nose Day event was a great success and raised 'loadsamoney' for Comic Relief. One of their Â鶹ԼÅÄ News School reporters, Callum, tells us what went on in a day packed full of fundraising activities.  Janet, Judith & Tracy in reception with Red Noses The day started out quite dull with lessons happening as normal. The only strange thing was not wearing uniform, as it is a rare thing within the school. During period 1 some teaching groups including 8.1 went out to do the Mount Kilimanjaro activity, which was a sponsored event. The idea was that every student in year 8 went up the steps to the top yard, along the top, down the other steps and along the bottom 10 times. This was worked out at a total distance of 32 metres and 128.866 recurring (how precise do you need to be?)! Once every member of year 8 had completed this activity, according to our maths teacher, Mr Glover, it meant they had covered the same total distance as the celebrities who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.  A tug of war team takes the strain!
The team from Year 8 most deserving of a mention is 8Sat’s team. Although they lost two out of three tugs, they persevered and had the best victory, in my opinion, with the team captain Liam cheering them on. His nickname, Lazy Liam, seems appropriate as he didn’t actually take part in the tug!  Some of 8Sat's tug of war team The key person in the team was in fact Alex who, in the final round, defended the team when he wouldn’t let the other team move at all. The two most courageous members were Charlie and Hannah who, although they aren’t particularly strong, tried their best and didn’t give in. The funniest one was the teachers' tug in which a group ofÌý Year 11’s joined to give one team an unfair advantage. Other events in school were a Welly boot toss, a Red Nose quiz, a chance to guess how many red balloons were inside Miss Edgar's car and, an interesting one this, the chance for students to see how some of the teachers looked as babies - and to try and identify them from their baby photos!  Guess how many red balloons in Miss Edgar's car!
